ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Abstract acrylic painting on canvas with bright color and varied texture. Bold fluorescent highlights mix with traditional high key hues. A variety of mark-making techniques. Signed, dated, and titled on the back. Three Day Weekend is an unstretched canvas with a 3 inch unpainted border for stretching. It will ship rolled in a heavy duty mailing tube. This painting concludes my Summer 2016 Series. This series of paintings celebrates summer, nostalgia, leisure, tropical light, and color. Formal themes within these paintings include bright, cheerful colors and repetition of stripes and color block shapes. This series grew and developed organically over several sessions of painting. The titles are meant to work with the compositions and invoke emotional responses in the viewer that conjure memories of summers past, or perhaps a sense of carefree contentment.

I am an abstract painter working in oil, acrylic, and watercolor. I switch between mediums frequently, and I often experiment with a variety of tools. Experimentation and chance have been catalysts toward new bodies of work. My artwork is represented by Unsettled Gallery in Las Cruces, New Mexico. Generally, I have painted in an abstract aerial landscape style, and I tend to favor a bright palette with lots of contrast. My painting process is explorative. I rarely plan a painting. Rather, I begin by making gestural marks. Those skeletal marks influence the direction of the painting, giving the process a beginning. Form is brought to life with the use of color, and I will often give "objects" subtle shadows to convey a sense of depth in my non-objective pieces, hinting at what I like to call "personification of form." A square of color appears to float with a small shadow under it, nearly making it an actual thing, and giving it a personality of sorts. The process of painting involves making these forms relate to each other, becoming a whole painting in the end.
